Describe how the moon produces tides on earth.
Question: Describe how the moon produces tides on earth.
The moon’s gravitational pull tugs on Earth’s oceans, creating tides. When the moon is directly overhead or on the opposite side of Earth, its gravity pulls the water towards it, causing high tides. On the sides of Earth where the moon's pull is weaker, the water is pulled away, creating low tides. This constant tug-of-war results in the rhythmic rise and fall of ocean levels we call tides.
